Aurora Borealis may be visible tonight in lower latitudes...

Big cold front coming across.

We will probably make a run at the lake tonight if things here at the house clear up.

Phenomenal and breathtaking.

So for those on the edge of the viewing area, what time should we try for?

Keep those links handy and refer to them and the skies throughout the night.

illusive critters that they are. I'll post some pictures if I get any good ones. It's wonderfully clear here for a change.

I will alway remember laying on my back on a little island in northern Ontario
in Sept. watching the lights "dance" ...... please don't get stomped by a moose!

I'm sure you've seen them so often that it's second nature to you...

How's the Iditarod going?

but we can't really see them well from our house since we live here in Anchorage and have a lot of light pollution and fog/clouds from Cook Inlet. The forecast is so good tonight, though, that we feel compelled to head out of town a few miles to see if we can get lucky. I've got my fingers crossed and my camera ready.

Iditarod's doing great. We'll be flying out to Nome Sunday for the finish. We've had tons of snow this year, and conditions are apparently excellent out on the trail. I'll bet they're getting some great views of the aurora out there. I'll be posting photos of the race at my website probably by the end of the month.

This gives a good idea of where the auroras might be seen tonight, weather permitting.

and tonight is no exception. Insult to injury: nary a drop nor a flake is coming out of those clouds.
